ranshee Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I recently changed to a lonestar axle and I cant seem to get the stock ones to hold anymore. They come loose after every ride. I was just wondering what some of you guys running aftermarket axles are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RATBIKE0130 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Since your in San Diego I would say swing by Duncan Racing and pick up their stainless steel lock nut. It should hold up better than most. Just take out a loan for the cost of the stupid thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee17Racing Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I bought mine from Shark Racing on ebay for about $35 a while ago. It was one of the cheapest I could find. There was no way in hell I was going to pay an arm and a leg for Lonestar's lock nut. I haven't had to mess with it since the day I put it on .

Bansh88 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I've got an RIS on my '02. Nevr came loose. I just bought a ModQuad one for my '06. Black! Good price too. Check out their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadedDreams Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I used a Rad lock nut with the stock axle and never had a problem.Then i bought a RPM axle and it wouldn't work.I bought a LSR lock nut and had a problem at first with it coming loose,but i just put blue loc-tite on the bolt and haven't had a problem since.

locogato11283 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 i use stock ones. did u tighten the nuts against each other?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I use stock ones on my lone star axle. Once in a while the hubs loosen and I have to break the axle lock nuts loose then tighten them more. I found the aluminium axle locknut will wear from the sprocket hub working on it causing reajustment more often. A friend suggested putting a stock steel axle nut on first then the aluminum axle locknut. Then back the stock nut off, kind of like how yamaha suggests to tighten your axle nuts. I would have tried this but I don't have problems with the stock nuts. A few suggestions: Check to make sure your axle threads or nuts are not worn. Clean and degrease the nuts and axle threads and use a good medium strength locktight when you tighten them as Yamaha suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
